Backline Hire

The dbx 1231 is a dual-channel graphic equaliser from the dbx 12 Series, which was designed to meet the needs of demanding live sound environments while keeping the controls simple. Use it to tune your PA or stage monitors to the room, control feedback and shape the overall sound. Hire it in Perth from Power Audio Visual for live events, venues and studio work.

You can switch the boost and cut range between plus or minus 6 dB for fine adjustments, or plus or minus 15 dB for bigger changes. An input gain control from minus 12 dB to plus 12 dB helps you match levels, and an 18 dB per octave low-cut filter at 40 Hz removes rumble that can overload speakers and amplifiers.

It's built for reliability. RF filtering on the inputs and outputs helps keep out interference, and a hardwire relay bypass passes the signal straight through if the power goes off, with a two second delay at power up to avoid thumps.

A graphic EQ is one of the most useful tools in a live sound rig. Place one on your main speakers to correct the sound of the room, and another on your foldback monitors to pull out the frequencies that cause feedback, so performers can hear themselves clearly without squeals.
